Mapping

hi there,

maybe easy question / problem…

i need 2 know how 2 map a simple box.

input device = webcam

scene:
different boxes rotate / equalizing with audio input.
i want 2 map the webcam video onto one or all boxes…how does it work? does it work?

2nd thing:

controll the boxes:

possibility 2 control the equalizing boxes…after pressing a button/key one box should morph 2 the front (gettin bigger)…

is it possible 2 controle these boxes - give them a path?

thx 4 fast help! (sorry 4 my bad kauderwelsch)

yes, thats possible. for the purpose of learning i´d suggest, taking a Quad and connecting a VideoTexture to it. now you will have your webcam image on the quad. connect a Camera (Softimage). (follow the HowTo DX Rendering tutorial for the details) then take a Transform (3d) and use spreads to draw 6 Quads instad of one and move the six faces to the right positions to get a proper cube.
somebody might already published a module for that…

after pressing a button/key one box should morph 2 the front (gettin bigger)…
